Complete EOR Services
Everything you need to employ staff in the GCC
Each GCC country has distinct labour codes, visa pathways, WPS rules, health insurance mandates, and free-zone frameworks. We manage all of it so you do not have to.
Visa Sponsorship & Work Permits
We process entry permits, medical examinations, Emirates ID, residence visas, and labour cards. Your employees are legally sponsored through our established GCC entities.
WPS-Compliant Payroll
All salaries are processed through the UAE Wage Protection System and equivalent systems across the GCC. Monthly payroll, allowances, overtime, and deductions are calculated and disbursed on time.
Employment Contracts
Bilingual, locally compliant fixed-term contracts drafted and issued in accordance with each country labour code. We track probation periods, notice terms, leave entitlements, and non-compete clauses.
Medical Insurance & Benefits
We enrol all employees in compliant health insurance plans as mandated by UAE and GCC law. Additional benefits such as travel allowance, annual air tickets, and wellness programmes can be added.
End-of-Service & Gratuity
Gratuity is mandatory across the GCC. We calculate accruals, manage the voluntary savings scheme where applicable, and ensure proper settlement at termination in compliance with each country labour law.
Nationalisation Compliance
Emiratisation and Saudisation quotas are tightening. We help you navigate requirements, avoid penalties, and maintain compliant headcount ratios across all GCC operations.

FAQ
Employer of Record questions
An EOR is a company that acts as the legal employer for your workers in a specific country. We handle employment contracts, visa sponsorship, payroll, benefits, and compliance while you maintain day-to-day operational control of the employee. This lets you hire in the GCC without setting up your own local entity.
Not with an EOR. Normally, you cannot sponsor visas or process payroll in the UAE without a registered entity. Our EOR service provides the legal entity and sponsorship infrastructure, so you can hire and manage employees without establishing your own company.
With contract staffing, employees work on temporary, project-based assignments. With EOR, you hire employees who work exclusively for you on an ongoing basis. We are the legal employer on paper, but the employee is fully embedded in your organisation, culture, and team structure.
We provide EOR services across all six GCC nations: UAE (mainland and free zones including DIFC and ADGM), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain. Each country has its own labour code and we maintain compliant entities in each.
We can transfer employees from our sponsorship to your newly established entity. This includes visa transfer, contract novation, and benefit continuity. The transition is managed seamlessly with no disruption to the employee.
